Overview
- Governor Maximiliano Pullaro officially opened the Invencible Santa Fe and minutes later the stadium staged Copa Santa Fe handball matches as a test event.
- The venue is confirmed to host every handball match for the XIII Juegos Suramericanos Santa Fe 2026, with women's play scheduled for mid‑September and men's play later that month.
- Officials published technical details showing 3,472 spectator seats, 74 press positions and dedicated spaces for people with reduced mobility to meet event and accessibility needs.
- Construction is part of a 21‑project provincial package tied to a reported USD 90 million investment for Games works financed by CAF and provincial funds, and it integrates the stadium into the CARD sports cluster.
- Provincial leaders say the arena will serve the community after the Games for sports, culture and education and link to a planned Villa Deportiva that will leave housing and urban improvements for local residents.
